The Writers handbook is the choice for all levels of writers,
By Christopher Brown (Tampa, Fl United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Writer's Handbook 2004 (Writer's Handbooks (Writer Inc)) (Paperback)
I have read this book at the library and it is an absolute necessity for beginning and veteran writers. It's filled with useful information from some of the greatest authors in history.Don't just write a manuscript. Get yourself published.

This one this year....,
By Ellie Lief (Fair Oaks, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Writer's Handbook 2004 (Writer's Handbooks (Writer Inc)) (Paperback)
...the other one next year. I'm referencing my "Writer's Handbook 2004" daily as I search for markets for my writing and hints, tips, and direction from established writers for how to sell to those markets. It's got good info and it's well organized. I have found some of the web sites listed to be defunct, but I think that's the nature of the Web. "The other one" is "Writer's Market." I'm ordering the 2005 edition of that book. Double coverage.
